Installing an FTP Server
Installing an FTP server is the next step after installing the Mediacaster core applications.
Mediacaster supports all types of FTP servers. The FTP server included with Windows XP Pro, Internet Information Server (IIS), only supports 10 concurrent connections. We recommend that you use an alternative FTP server such as FileZilla. FileZilla is free of charge and has no limitations. If you prefer to use the IIS FTP Server then click here.
Download FileZilla from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/filezilla/
If you have already installed the Microsoft IIS FTP server then you should remove or stop it before installing FileZilla.
To remove the IIS FTP server, disable the checkbox next to ‘Internet Information Services (IIS)’. See the section Install FTP Server for details.
To stop the IIS FTP server, click the stop button at the top of the window. See the section Configure FTP Server for details.
Run the FileZilla setup kit. Click ‘I Agree’ to proceed.
Leave the default 'Standard' selection on the ‘Choose Components’ screen. Click ‘Next’ to proceed.
On the ‘Choose Install Location’ screen, the default installation folder is already selected; click ‘Next’ to proceed.
The first screen of the Startup settings is as follows. The default option ‘Install as service…’ is already selected, click ‘Next’ to proceed.
On the second screen of Startup settings, we recommend that you change the drop-down option to ‘Start manually’. If you don’t, the FileZilla Server Interface will start every time you restart Windows. Rather start it manually from the Start menu when required.
Click ‘Install’ to proceed with the installation.
FileZilla is now installed. Click ‘Close’ to end the installation. The FileZilla Server Interface will start.
Leave the default settings as they are and click ‘OK’.
The FileZilla Server Interface will now be displayed. Click
the 
icon.
On the next ‘Users’ screen, click the ‘Add’ button to add a user.
Enter a user name, for example ‘admin’. Leave the group as ‘<none>‘. Click ‘OK’ to save the new user.
Click the ‘Password’ checkbox and enter the password for the new user.
Click on ‘Shared folder’ in the tree.
Use ‘My Computer’ or ‘Explorer’ and create a new folder on your hard drive, for example C:\FTP.
Click ‘Add’ to add a shared folder. Browse to and select the folder you have created in the previous step and click ‘OK’ to select this folder.
Enable the checkboxes in the ‘Files’ frame titled ‘Read’, ‘Write’, ‘Delete’ and ‘Append’.
Click ‘OK’. FileZilla has been installed and configured. You can now close the FileZilla Server Interface.
